I. FREAKING. LOVE. HER. She would perfectly fill the friend spot for Arroyo (another character of mine that I love to bits) that I've been meaning to find and she's beautiful..... Like, she is all my favorite colors combined T^T Also her coloring reminds me of an Australian Shepherd and I ADORE those dogs Multiple entries (space/click/arrows) Better quality here because I'm not going to pretend what Scratch did to it was even remotely acceptable-- https://toyhou.se/8834555.higher-quality-posts 1. Fullbody 2. (REUSING THIS LINEART) Now here's some traditional art-- I had a terrible headache at the time of drawing these, but I was in the mood to draw something sooo... Also, she's so comforting to draw?? Her design gives off a cheerful and bubbly, yet tranquil vibe? Anywayyy... 3. Looking at a sunset, but its difficult to achieve in monochrome-- I plan to redo this digitally one day. 4. Underwater coral/flower/seaweed/idek crown Might add more I have too many cute ideas for drawings aaaaaah-- If I win her, I will absolutely draw all of those... I just don't want to risk it right now >< Bio ** REUSING ** ★ Name: Aria (Often goes by Ari) ★ Gender: Female ★ Species: Fish/Fox/Wolf ★ Age when she met Arroyo: 6 years old ★ Current age: Young adult, probably around 18-20 years old ★ Personality: Outgoing, optimistic, independent, heckin extroverted, dramatic, sort of obnoxious, what's an indoor voice? She's oblivious as to how loud she is sometimes. Painfully persistent. Get in her face, and she'll her in yours but with a sharp rock.. (She will 100% throw rocks at seagulls or smack jellyfish though-- Do what you want with that information .... Definitely drawing these scenarios if I end up getting her lol) ★ Likes: Underwater tricks/maneuvers, people (not people-people), collecting shiny things that have fallen to the seafloor (she will often try to tie things together with old nets or ropes to make new accessories or decorations), sunsets ★ Dislikes: Seaweed or kelp, airplanes and boats (For reference, in this world there are non-aquatic variants of animals as well. Though aquatics tend to stay in deeper waters, so not many other land animals have seen them, but few doubt their existence), seagulls (if you wanted an explanation for the seagulls, it's because they're simply rude as heck and always steal her treasures. How? She makes accessories with things she finds, wears them, and then they sneak attack. Simple.) ★ Random things I wanted to add that don't fit within personality or preferences: When she was younger, she found a lost stuffed fish plushie on a beach once. Fascinated by it, she took it and it became her favorite finds. Though as she grew older, she lost interest in it (and it is incredibly dirty and falling apart), but it still has sentimental value for her. ★ General Backstory: (For reference, Aquatics start to leave their mother and father around the age of 5. Maybe not completely, some situations are different, but they will often wander for days or months on end) Off on new adventures! Aria wandered the endless oceans herself for months exploring all the wondrous sights. Tropical turquoise waters brimming with fish, vast open seas with nothing for miles, which were perfect for racing in and other young pups knew it, and underwater waterfalls, which even she questioned the plausibility of. Throughout the first year, she aimlessly wandered around, enjoying life to the fullest. She made friends on her journeys, but they were never long-term. (Think of like kids at a park) One fateful day, she ran into this small shark pup. At first, she didn't care too much, but it's another friend so why not say hi? Unbeknownst to Aria, this pup was incredibly shy. After failing to get to know him better, she determined that it would be her personal goal to make this stranger open up to her. He needed a friend! Aria continued to follow him around and sort of just ended up... stalking him... Eventually he caved in hopes to make her leave, but by that point, she had grown even more curious. He reluctantly traveled with her tailing him, but as time went on and they interacted more, he got used to having someone to talk to and tolerated it. Overtime, they grew closer (and she learned to respect his personal bubble when needed lol) and now they wouldn't have it any other way. Excuse my poor writing skills please.. I will DEFINITELY rewrite this once I get a chance. Not realistic, bUT HEY, IT WORKED FOR THEM REGARDLESS OF HER QUESTIONABLE TACTICS-- This isn't a very interesting or serious backstory.. Nothing tragic happened to these two in their childhood. But the future awaits, and no one knows what it may hold...
